The FLAG Foundation’s ‘A Secret Affair’ is one of the best shows of the moment in Chelsea, and one of the most appropriately titled, given that it’s tucked away high on the 9th and 10th floors of the foundation’s 545 West 25th Street exhibition space. Curated by Louis Grachos from Glenn and Amanda Fuhrman’s collection, rooms like this one show off the quality of the collection as well as the Fuhrmans’ penchant for sculptures of couples. (Through May 16th).
